Landslide 15
Landslide 15 : Downhill sliding or falling movement of dry soil and rock. Landslides are difficult to estimate as an independent phenomenon. It seems appropriate, therefore, to associate landslides with other hazards such as tropical cyclones, severe local storms and river floods. The term "landslide" is used in its broad sense to include downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials (natural rock and soil). It is caused by heavy rain, soil erosion and earth tremors and may also happen in areas under heavy snow (avalanches)
